"Whoosh!"
When the first shot hit him, the truck driver's face twisted in pain and his body collapsed to the ground. But he still tried to struggle back to his feet. He was a tough one. His eyes turned bloodshot, and his teeth clacked together as he clenched them. He looked like he wanted to eat someone alive.
But after the second shot hit him, his gaze cleared considerably.
By the time the third shot hit him, his eyes were already filled with terror.
When the fourth shot hit him, he felt the threat of death acutely. He looked as helpless as if he'd been reborn. He tried desperately to open his mouth and beg for mercy, but the pain kept him from making a sound. His crotch was already soaked, and the wetness mixed with the blood.
"Just as I thought. Pain is the best wake-up call!"
Han Su finished him off with one last shot, then took his time reloading. He turned to look at the others. He made no effort to look fierce, and his tone was cool. "I'm an envoy from Azure Harbor, here to investigate safety and labor protections in the Bai La Mountain region."
"This man was suspected of maliciously helping spread superstition, so I executed him in public. Does anyone have a problem with that?"
Investigators traveling outside the city all called themselves envoys, so ordinary people wouldn't learn that investigators existed as a profession.
Of course, everything had long since descended into chaos, and people at every level knew about investigators.
But Han Su still worked carefully, considering that he would have to write a report when he returned.
"..."
As Han Su stood there quietly, the people in the gathering point who had been slowly closing in also slowed their movements.
